What's New?

I'm so happy to show you the start of my newest collection, which is inspired by our amazing National Parks!

It's been a dream of mine to visit as many of our National Parks as possible, but admittedly, I've gotten a slow start. Last year, I finally got to see the Grand Canyon, which inspired the first painting in this series (top painting). Previously, I'd seen a few other smaller parks (Gateway Arch, Indiana Dunes, Saguaro and White Sands), but this was the first of the major parks. This summer, I'm on an extended road trip and so far, I've seen Joshua Tree, Bryce Canyon, Zion, The Redwoods and Crater Lake.

Joshua Tree was the first national park we visited this summer and it inspired me to painting the second painting in the National Park inspired series (bottom painting). I had no idea what to expect, but I was immediately captivated by the peace and tranquility in this park. Unlike the larger (and more popular) National Parks, Joshua Tree was not crowded at all, and there was just a sense of calm. Of course, I was also very taken with the Joshua Trees, which are so quirky and fun as they shoot out in every direction.

As you can see, I've continued with my love for bright, bold colors in creating my take on these amazing parks. Neither one depicts an exact scenes from the parks, but rather are my attempt to capture the essence and "feel" of the parks. I hope you feel like you can step right in and capture the magic!

What's next?

I'm going to work hard this summer on my National Park series. Next up are Bryce Canyon and Zion, which will round out my first four paintings on 24X18 canvas. I plan on doing a few smaller paintings on 11X14 canvas sheets as well (Saguaro, Crater Lake, the Redwoods). Once I have a fuller collection, I'll be offering this series as Fine Art prints, but for now, you can grab the original of Joshua Tree (the Grand Canyon already sold) or both are available as canvas prints. If you don't already, follow me on Facebook or Instagram or join my mailing list to keep up my painting projects!

Painting: Boats at Harbor - Shelley's art is truly beautiful. Her use of color and technique come alive on the canvas! Her interpretation of the scene is akin to the Impressionists of the nineteenth and twentieth century, yet she has found a way to make the technique all her own. We adore her work and will certainly keep our eye out for more from this wonderful, talented artist!

~ Hank Lankford

Painting: Scotland Puffins - When I look at The Puffins in Scotland It stirs my senses, looking at the painting I’m drawn to sun dancing on the water. I smell the sea and feel the cool ocean breeze. I see the cliffs and I can feel the soft earth beneath my feet. I look at the Puffins and I feel curiosity and Joy. I’m transported.

~ Alan Sutherland

Painting: Sailing Serene - It's a simple sailboat on a calm orange, peach, and salmon colored sea. But it stood out to me. What stands out to me with Shelley's work is her use of bold color. In simple land-, town-, or sea-scapes, there is often a small detail like a sailboat, a rowboat, or some other sign of peaceful life that tells me things are OK. Her pet portraits are beautiful captures of the fur baby's personality. I'm glad her art is in my home, and I look forward to adding to the collection.

~ Lee Walker

Painting: Woman Playing Guitar in the Forest - Everything about this painting is just magical. With the colors, to the shading, the painting is pleasing to look at. Fits perfectly in my room!
